Bellatrix Lestrange - the character of "Harry Potter"

Bellatrix Lestrange is one of the brightest characters in the series of books about the young wizard Harry Potter and his friends. Despite the fact that she joined the evil side, she had a lot of admirers.

Childhood Bellatrix

One of the central conflicts unfolding in the series of books was the dislike that pureblood wizards experienced for those born in the Muggle family or in a "mixed" family. There were not so many genuine purebred families in the magical world. And they were all proud of their rich ancestry. Bellatrix belonged to the ancient genus Black.

The Sorceress was born in 1951. She was brought up with two sisters - Narcissa and Andromeda. Subsequently, the first will marry Lucius Malfoy and become the mother of Draco, Harry's main rival among schoolchildren. Andromeda will love the Muggle Teddy Tonks and give birth to a daughter Nymphadora. Another relative of Bellatrix, who became a notable figure in the series of books, is Sirius Black's cousin.

Years of study at Hogwarts and the first years after it

Bellatrix, like other wizards of Great Britain, entered the Hogwarts School. The distributing hat sent the future Death Eater to Slytherin. Then she met many wizards who later joined the Dark Lord. Among them was another favorite character, Severus Snape.

In the years of studying at the school of magic, Black was no different from the usual arrogant aristocrat of the magical world. She communicated exclusively with thoroughbred wizards and desperately despised all those who did not fit into her picture of the world. Bellatrix did not share the views of her softer sister Andromeda. Therefore, it is not surprising that she married a purebred wizard.

The marriage of the Death Eater was arranged by the parents. Bellatrix was chosen to be the wife of Rudolfus Lestrange. Young people got married right after leaving school. But they did not have children either in the first or subsequent years of marriage. Both spouses were much more keen on the idea of bringing the Dark Lord to power than by each other. In addition, there was no love in their marriage.

The First Magical War

Like many representatives of the pureblooded magical aristocracy, Bellatrix Lestrange vigorously opposed the Muggles and their children who were invited to study at Hogwarts. Beliefs led the young witch to the fact that she joined the Death Eaters and received a mark on her hand. The Dark Lord became a true love Bellaktris. Fidelity to him, she carried through the years.

The Dark Lord knew about the Prediction, which spoke of a man who could defeat him. Under the description came just two boys - Harry Potter and Neville Longbottom. He intended to kill them before they grow up and gain strength. And who would have thought that the meeting

With a year-old Potter will be fatal for Volan de Mort. He disappeared from the life of wizards for many years and turned into One Who-Can not-Call.

When the Dark Lord possessed power, many supporters joined him. But as soon as he disappeared, most of them repented and renounced the former leader. But not Bellatrix Lestrange. She was far more faithful than her former friends. The witch did everything to find the Dark Lord and restore his former strength. Like the leader, she did not believe in the power of the one-year-old Potter. Therefore, I considered that the Longbottoms had overcome Volan de Mort and imprisoned him somewhere.

Together with other faithful henchmen, she went to Frank and Alice to find out everything. Mages refused to speak with the Death Eaters. And then the latter resorted to torture with unforgivable spells. But the Longbottoms could not tell anything, because they did not know anything. From unbearable pain the couple went crazy.

Bellatrix Lestrange was charged and imprisoned in Azkaban for using unforgivable spells. But she was not at all worried about the fact that she would spend her whole life in prison for wizards. She believed that the Dark Lord would return, free her and other faithful people and reward them for remaining on his side until the end.

Second magical war

Everything turned out as predicted by Bellatrix Lestrange. Photo witches appeared in all magical newspapers with a message that she and several other dangerous criminals fled from Azkaban. Years of imprisonment made her even more cruel and finally drove her crazy.

For a long time, Harry Potter himself knew nothing about it. Bellatrix Lestrange broke into his life suddenly and killed one of the closest loved ones to a young wizard. Since then, the number of her atrocities has only increased.

Without own home, Lestrange settled with her sister Narcissa and her husband. The family of the second sister became real sworn enemies for her. If Andromeda simply despised her, Nymphadora hated her niece. After all, Tonks not only fought with such as Bellatrix, but also married a werewolf.

Lestrange continued to kill those whom Harry Potter loved. Because of her, Dobby died, an elf-housekeeper. She tortured Hermione, trying to find out everything she needed. Her cruelty and loyalty to the Dark Lord were so great that she did not spare anyone.

Origin of the name

The name of the child for the representative of the magical aristocracy meant much more than for any other parent. Some families had their own traditions. The exception did not become Blackie. Almost all children who continued this ancient family were given a name in honor of the constellation or star.

Bellatrix was named after a star from the constellation of Orion. Translated from Latin, her name means "warrior", which fully suits this supporter of Volan de Mort.

Character

Bellatrix is an unbalanced and very cruel witch. The final point in her madness was the conclusion in Azkaban. If there was something good in it, it was finally crossed out. She did not just kill her victims, but enjoyed every minute of their agony. Therefore, often before the murder, she tortured her victims for a long time with inexcusable spells.

It could seem that such a character can not love anyone. But the writer Joan Rowling, who told the world the story of Hogwarts and his students, told us that Volan de Mort was not just a leader, but also the main love for Bellatrix. She did not have any children. But is there any doubt that if she had a son or daughter, Bellatrix Leistrange would have prepared for them the fate of the Death Eaters?

Stick Bellatrix Lestrange

This magical attribute is one of the most important in the life of any wizard. The wand is the continuation of the wizard himself. She chooses a magician for herself. Therefore, each wand can tell a lot about its owner and his character.

Bellatrix received a stick from walnut wood. This material is great for an intelligent and talented wizard. A real find for innovators. Not everyone can receive this wand. But if she chose a wizard, the latter will be able to make friends with her, if she proves her abilities. The wand, obeying the master, is ready to comply with any order. And grief, if a stick made of walnut wood gets into evil hands, as happened with Bellatrix. The stick itself is 12¾ inches in size.

Inside of it is the heart vein of the dragon. Wands with such a component very often get to the Dark Wizards. They are capable of the most vivid spells. And give their owner a bonus in the form of ease of learning. The wands with the core of the dragon are true to their masters. True, until they are captured by someone else in battle. So it happened with this one. She was taken away by Hermione. About the second stick Bellatrix is little known. Even there is no exact information when exactly and where she got it.

Bellatrix at the cinema

A series of films about Harry Potter was played by Bellatrix Lestrange, an actress from Great Britain, Helena Bonham Carter. In many ways it is her sorceress who owes her considerable popularity in the fan environment.

Helena Bonham Carter often plays dark, attractive characters. The most clearly manifested talent in the films of her ex-husband Tim Burton. Helena repeatedly in her interviews talked about what an interesting and versatile character she got. If you remember other heroes, then she would like to play Hermione. And it happened in one of the moments, when Hermione drank a recipe and turned into a servant of the Dark Lord for a while.

Bellatrix in the work of fans

Talented admirers of the world of Harry Potter could not ignore this heroine. Therefore, she often becomes the central character of their works. Someone draws Carter in this image to Helen Bonham, someone carries his vision of a witch to the paper.

Often, Bellatrix becomes the main heroine of fanfiction - fan follow-ups and additions to your favorite series of books. Love of the Dark Lord becomes the main theme of the plot. In some works the witch even succeeds. Fans love and "good" characters to win over to the side of evil. Was not the exception of Hermione. Fanfiction flourishes in the fan base, in which it is told that Hermione is the daughter of Bellatrix Lestrange.

Although much more often Bellatrix appears, as a young witch, living in the time of the Marauders and still only dreaming of exploits in the name of the Dark Lord.

Bellatrix Lestrange is one of the most vivid characters of "Harry Potter". And the second after the Dark Lord, who remembered the fans. Theories about it arise to this day.
